Trump's Third Term Efforts and Bloody Car Wrecks

 For me there is a certain level of morbid fascination when it comes to wondering about the thought processes going on in Trump’s head. The best and simplest analogy would be its the same as if I was passing by a bloody multiple car accident on the Interstate. I know I should concentrate on my driving, so not to endanger anyone else, but with car wreckage scattered everywhere and emergency workers scrambling to save the victims it's often impossible to not glance over.

Trump’s mere existence is a testament to the inherent failures of the human species. The common assumption by many of the philosophers I’ve read is that no person is totally good or evil. And that the way individuals react to events and circumstances depends on many factors. Long obvious story short, the assumption is that every individual could be a hero or a villain given how they react to factors beyond their control.

But Trump seems to be the exception, he truly thinks he’s above us all. While Trump wants to be loved and admired, he also wants total loyalty and control of everything he can access. Deny him the loyalty he automatically expects and Trump will do everything he can to destroy that person.

Since Trump returned to the White House there has been a steady slide to authoritarianism. Which I find funny in a skewed way since from the time he was declared the winner in November I became convinced this country has been dropped into a badly written but nightmarish political dystopian thriller. In other words I except him to go full Putin with this country developing a problem with healthy people suddenly falling out of perfectly good windows.

Case in point, Trump’s unexpected desire to annex Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal. While throwing these tantrums he has alienated every ally the United States has ever had. By his actions Trump has achieved the near impossible by uniting Canadians and thoroughly pissing them off.

But its his desire to run for a third presidential term and defy the Twenty-Second Amendment is for me just added icing to the shit cake a plurality of Americans have forced the rest of us to eat.

“A lot of people want me to do it,” Trump said in a Sunday morning phone call with NBC News.

While the Twenty-Second seem to clear to me, speculation has one of the ways to achieve his desire would be to run J.D. Vance for president and then have the couch fucker pick Trump as his Vice President. Which begs the question that if J.D. did become POTUS what mechanism would the GOP use to make sure he resigned and let Trump back into the Oval Office.

During this NBC News phone call Trump remarked that “a lot of people would like me to” referencing supposed poll numbers indicating voters want him to run for a third term.

Apparently Trump’s sleazy henchman, Steve Bannon, has said that he and others are trying to figure out other ways to achieve a third term. Honestly it doesn’t matter, January 6th is proof enough that the legality of this third term project isn’t a problem for them.

I truly wish I could wake up tomorrow morning and suddenly discover this timeline was a Lovecraftian bad dream. But I’ll admit, it will be fascinating to watch Trump and his syncopates further wreck the United States of America. And yes, like a bad car accident, I have no doubt that at some point there will be blood in the streets.

Veterans Day Protest at The South Carolina State House

Not exactly sure who organized this demonstration but around 80 to 100 people showed up at the State House in Columbia, SC to the Tangerine Hitler and Elmo Musk's DOGE cuts affecting veterans benefits. The large guy in the center holding the flag is me.

 

Honestly, I was worried how the State House security guys would act. While we were there protesting the cuts to veterans programs, our chants quickly turned to calling for Trump's ousting from office and charged with treason.  But while security kept a close eye on us, they didn't get stupid.

I fucking despise Elon Musk. Musk is now the most dangerous man in the world, and I do mean he is a greater threat than Putin. He is suffering from a messiah complex and thinks its his mission to save Western Civilization from the forces of the "Woke Virus." His version of Western Civilization has people working 120 hours a week and living like Dark Age Europe serfs. More importantly Musk has no respect for basic human rights, to him were just animals.  

The level of intelligence displayed by the average Trump loving MAGAt is terrifying by itself. But what is worse is how Trump had essentially declared war on not only our European allies but fucking Canada. Our relationship with the Free World is destroyed. None of our allies will ever trust us again. The part in all this that should scare every American is that there will come a time when we need our friends and they will not come.

I was nothing special while in the active US Army and the the South Carolina National Guard. I was just an average soldier. But it truly disturbs me that a deviant slug who avoided the Vietnam draft by using the excuse of bone spurs.

In a move that comes straight from a badly written comedy Trump's DoD has removed pictures of the B-29 that dropped the atomic bombs on Japan. The reason? That bomber was named "Enola Gay" which upset the homophobic, incompetent asshole now running the military. For those who don't know the Enola Gay was named after the pilot's, Colonel Paul Tibbets' mom.

I was also expecting slack from Trump supporters driving by the State House. But we only had two I know about that talked shit to us while driving by. I have no illusions that our little protest scared anyone of power in South Carolina. The ignorant MAGAts here have drank Trump's delusional Kool-Aid, they are lost. But we did make our presence known and for now that's good enough.
